Hey there,

I am guessing that you are asking if you can log Pilot In Command Under Supervision as PIC?!

Now not to be rude as I try not to be, but if you read this out allowed to yourself you will see how much of an Oxymoron that statement is. You are either PIC or you are not, if you have an instructor by your side and you make a mistake he/she corrects it, this means that you are not making the ultimate decision.

In the FAA system there is no equivalent to PIUS, you would have the choice of PIC(P1), SIC(Time as FO in a Multi-crew aircraft) or Dual.

You can do the exams without the required hours, you just will not be able to do the the flight test. The exams are vaild for 24 calander months from the date of taking them.

You can use the SIC time when as stated in the regs it has been obtained by operating in a multi-crew aircraft carrying out the duties of PIC, in otherwords time flown as FO on a multi-crew aircraft. When you have actually been flying the plane as an FO rather than as a warm body in the right hand seat.

So you could not use your Dual(P2) time from flying your warrior with your Instructor.

Other requirments:

(1) 500 hours of cross-country flight time. 1500hrs TT
(2) 100 hours of night flight time.
(3) 75 hours of instrument flight time, in actual or simulated instrument conditions.

You will also have to make sure that your X-C time is made up of flights that are over 50nm with a landing.

Anyways sorry that the answer is so long-winded, it may be better to state what you do have with regard to hours and see what you are missing and go from there?!

Well hope this helped a little, I am sure someone else can fill in what is missing.
